(News Release)
(Stratford, ON) The
anticipation of Canada’s delicious iconic maple syrup is palpable as the first
sign of spring. To celebrate, Stratford Tourism Alliance presents the Savour
Stratford Maple Trail adventure. This self-guided tasting tour offers 22 unique
maple tastings for a tasty culinary experience that continues this month (April 2017).
The 2017 seasonal
Savour Stratford Maple Trail was launched with a tasting of a maple bacon
poutine at Downie Street Burgers. Maple syrup is Canada’s first crop of the
season and is most often thought of as a sweet treat, but Downie Street Burgers
has used it in this delicious savoury dish and it is featured on the maple
trail.
“The Maple Trail
presents 22 maple inspired offers, the most offers available ever on this trail
and so fitting in Canada’s 150th year of celebration. This year six
restaurants present maple syrup in exciting savoury and sweet creations. Trail
participants will enjoy the variety of choices, but it is only available until the end of April, so don’t miss out on our
taste of spring.” says Cathy Rehberg, marketing manager for Stratford Tourism
Alliance.
Local
culinary artisans and food purveyors invite you to sample delicious maple
creations along our self-guided trail. Savoury maple tastes include maple
squash soup, dipping sauce and tempting condiments using maple syrup. Sweet choices
range from crepes to cookies and handcrafted maple moonshine. Of course, no
maple trail would be complete without local maple syrup direct from the sugar
shack and traditional hand-poured maple sugar candy. Unexpected surprises on
the trail include some great take away items.
